Update: Xbox Engineering Lead Eden Marie has advised that Wishlists should now be returning to normal:
Original story: Over the weekend, you may have noticed that your Xbox Wishlist went from displaying tens if not hundreds of games, to suddenly displaying nothing like in the image up above. If that's the case, you're not alone.
We've seen countless reports of this from Xbox users over the past couple of days - and that's despite the official Xbox Status website suggesting that Wishlists have been working normally. Clearly, that's not quite right!
As suggested, it seems likely this is just a glitch that will be resolved by Team Xbox in the coming hours / days, so we'll just have to sit tight. It's probably not worth building a new one in the meantime either as it'll just keep disappearing.
If you're not even sure what we're talking about here, you can access your Xbox Wishlist by going to the "Deals" section of the Microsoft Store and then scrolling down the tab on the left until you hit "Lists". Games can be added to your Xbox Wishlist by finding them on the Store and then hitting the little love heart symbol with a '+' icon next to it.

My wishlist practically disappeared in February, but that’s because most games I wanted from this year came out this month. My wishlist among all three platforms is currently under 10 items now.
@somnambulance teach me, senpai!
Hope it's fixed by the next sale, as it's a pain to remember all the games I'm interested in but not full price interested in...
When I saw mine had disappeared I tried to start a new one but wouldn't let me.
Hope they sort this out soon.
With this happening and perhaps losing some exclusives to other platforms I am beginning to have some tiny doubts appear regarding my hard earned cash going to Xbox.
My daughter showed me the game list on PlayStation Premium and I was blown away.
If Xbox go multi platform I could be tempted away.
We'll see.
Mine's gone, but my list was only about 5 or so games deep on xbox. I also use xbdeals too, so I at least have some type of backup in place.
Hopefully, they restore it for those of you who have a much deeper list!
I seen it gone and I was like oh okay then you don't want to sell games, back to game pass then.
Mine's even worse, keep getting a wishlist notification about Lords of the Fallen being free to play.
Can't even remove it from my wishlist or add and remove to get rid of the notif 😭😂
yep me too, must be pretty widespread. Won't let me add any of them back either! Good thing it was a short list!!
I miss my window shopping list...mine was mostly full of old back-compat games which are particularly annoying to find with the sub genre that oft-times disappears. Guess Xbox wants more bad press this year.
Happened to me as well, let's hope they fix this asap.
I listed quite a few games from the latest sale, only to find that my wishlist had vanished (mini heart-attack) 😭 I hope the new additions are there when it's fixed. $3 trillion company...
Hi there fellow gamers.
This thing also happened to me.
Yesterday I turn my Series X on to check some games and play the Original Dead Space and had no games on my wishlist.
Went to do it again and had the same result.
Hopefully they can fix this anoying glitch.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all
It's good to see an article about this, maybe Team Xbox will take notice. They haven't said anything so far about it.
happen to me too but whats more annoying is the xbox store says my credit card does not match my region. it does and my cc works everywhere else.
i hear clown every time i use my xbox for anything these days.
Yep, I had like 100+ games. It's really annoying.
Not found anyone yet whos says its not happened to them!
As long as my purchased games don't disappear, I'll get by
@Widey85 dekudeals.com
Used to be for Nintendo eshop only, now has support for xbox and playstation as well.
Enjoy.
I haven't turned my Series X on in about two months.
Mine disappeared because I bought the last game I wanted from it. Should probably look through the store to see if there's anything else I want.
I had 90+ games on my wishlist and discovered they were gone a few days ago, I hope the list comes back when Microsoft fix the problem...
@Spider-Kev Don't worry maybe some kinky underwear or something might help
Yep mines gone. Hopefully it gets fixed but I've got enough to play at the moment to sweat it right now. I probably had about 25 things on it.
@Friendly Lol, all it takes is a good old fashioned 2020 to clear out the backlog a bit. I’ve been gaming for 35 years and have been pretty active on new games for a while, but that year off work really helped me clear through things and set things aside if I was never going to play them. Nowadays, I mostly play what I’m going to play and that’s it, but I also blast through about 20-40 games a year, depending on how long they are. I am NOT a completionist and… as much as I love JRPGs, I’ve accepted that I probably won’t play many of them unless I REALLY want to. Like FF7. But I tend to like shorter games that I can blast through anyway. Doesn’t mean it’s all I play, but it’s my preference. But seriously, I bought about a dozen games in February too. With Christmas cash, birthday cash, and taxes (and the strange thing with practically my whole wishlist releasing in February), it wasn’t too challenging. The challenge now is keeping up, depending on what comes out this year.
Good thing I use dekudeals as my primary wish list. 🥵 What a strange glitch.
Glad I'm not the only one. Yesterday went to look at it. Gone.
Happened the beginning of last week.
Super annoying because I had a couple hundred games in it.
@FraserG mine is back
@InterceptorAlpha Try it now, fingers crossed they're all back?
Mine’s not back, I was messing with it last night and added something to see if it stuck… It didn’t. However, today that one game has appeared and the rest are still gone. So I’m wondering if I unintentionally nuked my wish list. I recommend you all leave yours well alone until it comes back.
1 of the 5 or 6 titles on my list has returned!
Everyone should be using Deku Deals for their wishlist. It is just plain better than any of the console stores plus you can track games across all three consoles.
@InheritNegative yes this is what happened with me!
Mine seems to mostly be back
@Savage_Joe I read your sentence at first as "If you hope your Xbox has suddenly disappeared". That would be crazy, if my wishlist first disappeared and then my Xbox. I would be freaking out!
Only 1 item has come back from my wishlist as well the others are still gone..
My original wishlist is gone and has not returned thanks a lot Microsoft 👍👍👍
Mine only has one item that I tried to add while it was gone. Guess I’m screwed now.
I stopped using the Wishlist when I found out about sites that price track and don't count every game/DLC 10% off w/ Game Pass as a sale like the Wishlist does.
Mine is back. Almost disappointed!….thought (longer term) it being missing might reduce the backlog 😃
My previous list is still gone. I'm not trusting the Xbox list anymore. Should have gone old school and used a spreadsheet.
On the topic of issues....
Has anyone else downloaded the Feb console update and not have the controller calibration option show in their Xbox Accessories app?
Sent several tickets to Xbox concerning the issue. Not heard anything yet.
It's still buggy for me, I had added games back to my wishlist, and earlier today everything seemed fine, but I just saw that its been wiped again save for one game.
Bloody hell, my original wishlist was wiped about 4 days ago so I grudgingly created a new one and now that has gone accept for some reason one game which I OWN.
Microsoft, SORT YOUR S**** OUT.
I am not doing another one.
Just wanted to add this. My wishlist was wiped out as was like everyone else's. The difference is mine never came back. After contacting Microsoft 7 times over it. I'm told to re-add everything manually. So I doubt I will use my Xbox much anymore given how they treated me and probably others too as I doubt I'm alone in not getting my wishlist back. 193 items just gone.
